do look into the way radioactive Carbon14 is produced in the upper atmosphere.

Nah. Like I said, I'm not a scientist, nor do I have any great interest in proving or disproving anything to people who are unwilling to see beyond their own beliefs.

I used to believe in evolution. But my questions quickly became unaswerable.

your question regarding C14 dating would be answered if you'd trouble yourself to look into the way it is formed in the upper atmosphere.

I'm particularly amused by the "history", Shadow Ace, of the evolutionists' assertions for educational equal time. Around the 1920s, the evolutionary point of view (or their representatives, really) was arguing for a CHANCE to explain their position. They were granted that chance.

Now, here we are, less than a century later, and the purveyors of this same essential position insist on allowing no alternative explanations for our origins. :) (I know they'll poo poo that, but 'tis true!)

"Believing" was your problem. You don't believe a theory, merely accept it as the best that the scientific community has to offer as an explanation for what we see. If you're looking for "Truth" then science is the wrong place.

As far as unanswerable questions, you expect too much of science. Newton had unanswerable questions, and attributed his observations to acts of God, much in the same way ID attributes unanswered questions in evolution to God. In Newton's case, we later found out the scientific reasons. Give it time.
